This week we've been making the most of the spring sunshine and getting outdoors. We went to Camp Wilderness on Saturday and then on Tuesday attended toddler group where the mothers were all given a little pot of flowers. I chose these beautiful yellow ones to plant in the garden.
Then I headed
to the playground with the girls and let them both slide and swing to their
hearts content. Juggling two isn't always easy but we manage. Wednesday we
attended another play group and we've been out in our own garden tidying the
area and planting seeds.

With space week on CBeebies I decided to dig out the children’s
books we had on the subject too. Both of these have been read during bedtime
story hour on the television and I've read them again during the week.
We watched Martin Lewis the money show. I admit to feeling
like the girl who haggled for the first time on the show and know for a fact I’d
have to write everything out that I’d like to get across before attempting to
talk to someone. I've visions of me saying something silly!
It’s always sad when people move on and you've enjoyed their
company. This is so true of a lady I got to know through one of the toddler
groups we attend during the week. She was their leader and with so much going
on for her she has had to step down and now she has expressed that she will be
moving away entirely as her husband changes his job too and is becoming
ordained.
We've been making a lot of things this week from fires, clay
animals and bracelets to a carrot patch in our garden. My husband and daughter had
fun digging in the garden together before planting the carrot seeds.
We made sure to wear clothes we didn't mind getting dirty in
over the weekend. This is the great thing about buying second hand now and
again. I don’t care if the girls get filthy dirty. I just wish for them to have
a great time all day every day.
Thank you to everyone who has been wishing me a speedy recovery. It really means a lot to me.
How has your week been?















I love your little plant pot. I think I'd have trouble haggling too, but my hubby is very good at it so I let him do it. It sounds like you've had a busy week, I'm glad you are feeling better.

Thank you. Yes I let my hubby do it too. Thank you for the well wishes.
DeleteIt has been wonderful to get outdoors more this week. I'm with you on the let-them-get-dirty. What are washing machines for? Love the photo of your little one juggling garden tools and her drink. Beautiful smile. #wotw
ReplyDeleteVery true washing machines do have their uses. Thank you for your compliments.
DeleteIt's been so nice to spend more time outdoors, hasn't it? It's definitely warming up out there. We love those Oliver Jeffers' books, too x Thanks for sharing with #WotW
ReplyDeleteIt has been great to be able to get outside more....It seems to be really warming up.
ReplyDeleteAhh! I love the Martin Lewis the money show....I always learn something from it. x
#WotW
I love Oliver Jeffers' books - they're gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly getting warmer to get us outdoors Thanks for linking to the #THAT FRIDAY LINKY come back next week please
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to planting some flowers myself, to show my daughter how they grow from seeds. Hopefully they'll grow from seeds. I'm not much of a green thumb. #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteSounds like a busy, busy week! Always sad when people move on. Good luck with the seeds - we've planted a lot out today!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely agree with you on wearing clothes you don't mind getting dirty. Whenever the girls get their clothes dirty, Jessica just says "it's okay, Mummy, it can always be washed!" - and if I can't get it completely clean, then we can always wear it for really messy activities anyway! Hope you had a wonderful time at Camp Wilderness :-) #WotW
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty flower. Sounds like you had a busy week. What a fab idea to do a post about your week :) #kcacols xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely that you've been getting outside and that your daughter and daddy had fun digging! #wotw
ReplyDeleteGetting outside is so good for the heart and the soul, I think so anyway! Your daughter is so super cute, I do love the photo of her with her digging things.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, clothes are meant to get dirty. If my children come home from playing outside all clean and pristine I'd question what they got up to !

ReplyDeleteSo lovely that your kids get involved in the gardening. I wish I knew more about it! #PoCoLo
ReplyDeleteAmazing to get the kids out the garden to help out. We try as much as possible to do that with our two too. Hope the sun comes out more so we can all be outdoors for playing and exploring. Roll on summer. So sorry for the late comment I am playing catch up on today's and last weeks #littleloves. Better late than never I hope! Happy Weekend.
